Kaposi's sarcoma questions
      #254772 - 03/11/11 11:08 PM

I recently foun d a dark spot on the inside of my thigh. I actually scraped it off, as it was on the top of my skin, almost like a mole or birthmark.

Underneath of this spot, there was no more discoloration, and there was hardly any bleeding.

Are KS lesions able to be scraped off, or are they deeper in the flesh, extending through fat/muscle tissue, and not just skin?

I know that I am probably being paranoid, but I do nor remember this spot being there before. However, I ahve gained a lot of weight, and may have just forgotten it was there.

Try this article - from what it says, this does not sound like KS, but maybe a blood blister that finally worked it's way loose.
